Would have to know more about your server configuration to answer in detail. Port 135 is used by RPC communication, which is used in a number of ways in NT - particularly by Exchange Server for example - that are essential. Why it's trying to reach this particular address is the question. Is there possibly a HOSTS or LMHOSTS file on your server that is pointing to the wrong IP address for an Exchange server or other host of some kind? Or perhaps an entry in WINS or DNS somewhere? This would be what I'd look for - maybe someone else can think of some other possibilities. Hope this helps!
